A beer that’s as Original today as it was in 1807, when Daniel Thwaites himself began brewing. A clean dry tasting and refreshing session bitter with a glowing amber appearance. Brewed using premium grade Maris Otter malt and a blend of traditional English Hops including Goldings and Fuggles to give a malty flavoured beer with a delicate dry finish.

Brown beer with a small, frothy white head and a somewhat malty aroma, with just a hint of fruit. Light bodied, on the bland side with some fruit malt, toffee sweetness and hop bitterness going on, but all a bit messy.

Light brown colour with lasting creamy head. Unfortunately it's very bland. Watery mouthfeel, very light malt. So many better beers in this category.

Cask pour at The Highlands. Dark amber, small creamy head. Looks appealing. Light malty aroma, taste too is mild. Smooth as silk, but generally unexciting. Not as bad as some if the ratings, just kind of bland.

Tried a the Tempest Coleby. To be honest a dull and rather average bitter. Amber colour. Aroma malts. Slightly sweet. What more to say...

Cask at Ye Cracke, Liverpool. Golden brown, clear with a huge head. Sulphur, malt and maple syrup aroma. Unexciting and simple but enticing nonetheless. A sweet biscuity taste throughout, buffeted by bitter-sour sulphur. Weak oily mouthfeel but the slight carbonation carries it through. Basic, old-fashioned and Northern as fuck. This is a beer that has stood the test of time.
